"Boom Town" - Treasures Reading - Third Grade - Sequencing

"If one wants to reach younger people at an earlier age to shape their minds in a critical way, you really need to know how ideas and emotions are expressed visually"

- Martin Scorsese

Knowing this, you can choose to teach the old-fashioned way by lecturing, or try something new. I suggest making full use of technology and visual presentations that engage your students, simplify your planning, and lead to higher levels of student learning. This presentation accompanies the story, "Boom Town," which is part of the Treasures Reading program. The important reading skill of sequencing is taught here, first through direct instruction, and then through its application during the reading of the story. The lesson provides the necessary scaffolding, visuals, and sentence frames that students will need to ensure comprehension and the acquisition of the reading skill.
